What are my QQ Mail IMAP settings?

IMAP is imap.qq.com on port 993 (SSL); SMTP is smtp.qq.com on port 465. Auto-detected from your address.

What is the authorization code?

A 16-character device password QQ generates when you enable the POP3/IMAP/SMTP/Exchange/CardDAV service under 设置 → 账号与安全 → 安全设置. Use it instead of your QQ password. Changing your QQ password invalidates it; you can revoke it anytime.

Does Tencent Exmail (企业微信邮箱) work too?

Yes. Business mailboxes on exmail.qq.com connect via imap.exmail.qq.com with their own authorization code, and we auto-detect those settings.

Before you connect

What you need

Enable IMAP in QQ Mail settings

In QQ Mail: 设置, then 账号与安全, then 安全设置, and switch on the POP3/IMAP/SMTP/Exchange/CardDAV service (开启). QQ walks you through an SMS verification.

Your authorization code (授权码)

QQ issues an authorization code when you enable IMAP. Paste that code here as the password; your QQ login password will not work.

Under the hood

Server settings we auto-fill

You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against QQ Mail’s servers — they’re here for the curious.

Server settings

IMAP: imap.qq.com:993
SMTP: smtp.qq.com:465
Encryption: SSL/TLS

Calendar: depends on your plan

QQ’s help lists CalDAV among the services the authorization code opens, but QQ publishes no server address. Users report dav.qq.com, with mixed results: if the calendar does not attach on its own, you can try https://dav.qq.com as the CalDAV URL under Advanced configuration. Email works fully either way.
